"Oh," Nopony began to sweat, "oh, oh well. You know." The two stared at each other. "A thousand years ago," Scootaloo continued, "when you fought her." "When Celestia fought her. And-" "Sure, when that loser fought her." Nopony glared at her. "And it was a very intense moment with a lot of magic going on." "Sounds like that should've made the element's job easier." "Celestia's skill alone could not purify Luna, wielding all six." Scootaloo raised an eyebrow. "So she did the more difficult thing and sent her towards a celestial object 238,900 miles away?" "You're thinking of the moon across the mirror, ours is closer by about roughly 60,000 miles." Nopony corrected. "Wait how do you know about-" "Why did you throw her onto the moon?" "Into the moon?" "Into the moon, which sounds even harder?" "I was having a bad day okay? A very very bad day." "For a finite, exact thousand years?" "I-" "And then you made the exact day you sealed her away a holiday where you celebrate the thing she grew to hate?" Nopony quietly stared at Scootaloo. "Also I thought Celestia did this, not you."

"I made you break character!" "Young lady, go to your room, right now." "As you say-" "Good-" "Mom."

Starting today, trained unicorns and Celestia herself will be traveling across Equestria for a week casting a strong enchantment that will let all earth ponies and unicorns gain wings for 72 hours. Many were overjoyed by this, while the minorities cried out racism against cows, donkeys, yaks, minotaurs, and so forth. In other news, strange spots have showed up on the sun, the princess guarantees that they'll only be there for a week, to help her cast her enchantments as she travels the country...
